    Surf fishing with local kids

    Way to go. You did a great thing taking those kids fishing and putting them on the fish. They won't forget.

    You have had a very nice year. Congratulations. I wish I had the access to the coast that I used to. You are making me think about putting in the time to drive... Thanks for the reports

    Seal Beach Pier - Opportunity Was The Catch Of The Day! 01-26-24

    That sounds like a very enjoyable day of fishing. Good job helping the kid. I still remember the 10 year old kid that helped me catch my first fish when I was just 6. I have been a fishing zealot ever since.

    Striped Bass @ Richmond Rocks 01/14

    Very nice! Would the salt be to toughen up the bait a little to keep it on the hook better, or some other reason?

    Butlers Bay Halibut 11/22

    Wow. Very cool. Does this suggest that halibut are resident in the bay all year round? I know the prime season for targeting halibut tends to be late spring and through summer, but I do not know all of the reasons for that. Nice catch!

    There are NO sheepshead in Pacific Ocean.

    Too funny and true. I caught a "Bass" the other day.

    Understood, but juxtaposed to the level of inaccuracy that is now acceptable in all forms of "journalism", I do not think that this will even register as a mistake. You pick a difficult hill to fight on, but good luck.

    I don't quite understand. Are you mad about a typo?

    Putah Creek 2/20: Lightning Does Strike Twice

    That is really cool. More water can't hurt. There is a saying. One is a dot, two is a line, three is a pattern. Hopefully you see a pattern develop. Good luck with your data collection.

    Avalon 1/6

    Never too many posts. All of them are appreciated. Great fishing! I understand why you did not want to share the full extent of your extensive knowledge in this case. ;) I'm thinking, "Who discovered this creature?" Unrelated, so feel free not to answer or PM: You might know, so I will ask...

    Fishing Bait or Fishing Lures?

    100% situational. I’m out to catch fish. There is a fine line between fishing and “just sitting around”. If all were equal,I would probably use lures. But it is never equal. If I get the glorious opportunity to fish. I’m going with what I think will put one on deck.

    What fish would you add to each classification?

    Interesting topic. A couple of thoughts. Lunar cycle plays a part. I would think that halibut would be daytime feeders primarily because they are sight feeders-but every creature is an opportunist. I think that tidal action has a big influence on this. Rockfish, I think, are more influenced by...
